Surprise!!

The other night I put the kids in bed and then folded laundry in my room. After, I walked out in the family room and found this little girl pillow and all!! She totally scared me but she looked so sweet!!

It has started...

Sienna being in school that is! I was dreading the beginning-- the first day I told Omar I felt like she was graduating from high school, it felt like it was the beginning of the end!! BUT she is absolutely loving it, so I will just enjoy my 5 hours a week of Malachi time!!

Labor Day = Party Day

Labor Day was fabulous-- we had Omar for an entire extra day that week and all we did was play!!

First we went to the lake with some friends. The water was pretty rough so tubing was where it was at!

silly faces

I think the rough water made Malachi a little seasick,

so he made this face a lot,

eventually he did start to be his normal crazy self.

After the day at the lake we went to Grandma Vawdrey's for a BBQ.

I love this little ball throwing sequence...

Swiss Days

We love to wander around Swiss Days every year. The kids loved the scones and so did I!!

crib love OR crib envy?

Sienna loves to keep Mac company when he wakes up from nap- most of the time he screams at her and demands mommy, but on a rare day...

she climbs in his crib and wins his love with an i-pod

RARE but sweet!!

Daddy Zoo Day

During Omar's 2 week school break we tried to drag him to as many of our normal party spots as possible!!

I am not sure why they think these horses are so darn cool!!

Everything is so much more fun (and a little less work) with daddy tagging along!!
